Follow up appointment with Mr Lipscombe for Carpal tunnel procedures. Excellent feedback on how well my hands are doing, and some advice
Mr Lipscombe put me at ease throughout the whole process.
I was called in early for my appointment which was great. Mr Lipscombe was very thorough with his post op examination. I am extremely happy with the outcome. Of the procedure and would definitely recommend Mr Lipscombe.
Care from start to finish was fabulous. Procedure explained well, all staff very friendly, making you feel relaxed
As ever Stephen was warm and courteous. He is a very professional individual who conveys things very clearly. His reassurance is genuine and I never leave his office feeling unsure about any aspect of our conversation. His initial advice to proceed with a replacement “bone/joint” has proved to be fully justified.
Stephen provided me with options and discussed through them all. Felt very confident and extremely happy with the outcome.
This visit was to check my progress after an operation to remove a cyst from my finger. Mr Lipscombe checked my finger and said that it had healed nicely.
Mr Lipscombe is an excellent Surgeon. During the procedure he took time to explain every step he was doing which was really helpful. My recovery and outcome has been amazing.
